I love the bat invitations that were on Martha Stewart Living (the television show) today. If you don’t get a chance to see it, there is a paper bat inside of the card, each half is joined by a rubber band which is wound up so when you open the card it pops out and spins around. The idea came from winding the propellers on balsa wood model airplanes.

The segment on sound effects was really good as well – “a frozen head of iceberg lettuce will create a sound similar to that of a head hitting a floor; generally horrifying ‘squishing’ noises can be conjured with a bag of Spaghetti-Oï¿½s in a plastic bag”.
